What an amazing turnout we had at our Broadway Inspirational Voices Paint & Sip last Friday! It is always wonderful having BIV host another event with us, especially as we kick off our Pride Month celebrations.
Our members had a fantastic time dancing, painting, sharing a meal, and being in community with one another. As always, did an outstanding job facilitating the event.
A special thank-you goes to Canvas Cultures LLC for leading the Paint & Sip and providing our members with such a wonderful experience.
If you are interested in joining us for our next event, please reach out to our Program Coordinator, Melissa Parke, [email protected] for more information.
